The only Chinese port, where highly controlled trade between Western merchants and the governmental ap-pointed merchants ¿Gong Hang¿ was allowed, was Canton (Guangzhou). Western merchants had to life in separated districts of Canton, could not stay there more than a few months and were prohibited to bring their families or to have contact with Chinese except in trade.
